My First Grid Card

I made my first Grid Card!  But first I have to show you the beautiful card that I received in the mail from Jacqueline that I used as my inspiration...
 In real life, The colors on Jacqueline's card are much prettier.  I don't think the photograph does it justice.  I asked my hubby to put a watermark on the card, since it is not my card.  He still has to show me how to do that...smile.  I have been admiring her grid cards and the other beautiful cards and projects she has done for quite a while now.  I was so thrilled when she sent me one that I could see it in real life.  She has such a gift for colors, and composition.  To see more of her beautiful cards visit these links.





My card certainly doesn't look as nice as hers does...but I'm happy with it as it is my first Grid card, maybe Jacqueline can give me some pointers...Thank you again Jacqueline for your lovely surprise in our mail.  You made our day.

  13. Oh Jill this is gorgeous - don't put yourself down. This is a worthy first attempt, and to be honest, had you not said it was a first attempt I would have thought you were quite experienced with these.

  14. How fun and unique your card is. I think it is just as good as your example. You have the same concept visually. It is simply divine.
